2 Chron 7:14 Tree of Life Version (TLV)
“14 when My people, over whom My Name is called, humble themselves and pray and seek My face and turn from their evil ways, then I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land.”
The setting of this particular...
While reading Num 4:21-49 this week I was struck how with two particular families each man from the ages of 30 to 50 years old was given a responsibility in the moving of the Tabernacle through the wilderness. There were the sons of the Gershonites and the sons of Merari.
When it was time to...
I sit here on the day after my younger sister passed away and I am so filled with sorrow. I don't think I have experienced this deep of sorrow before, even when my parents passed away.
Home life when growing up was a mess and we had never been close. I had so hoped when moving to KS, where my...
When I first saw him he was facing north in the westbound lane. I was traveling east. He was huge, his rack impressive. I slowed down and as I got closer I honked the horn thinking he would run in the direction he was facing. Instead, he turned his head and looked at me then turned his body...
When a man went to the bride's father to ask for his bride, he took money, a skin of wine and a [bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse]re erusin (betrothal contract). If the father agreed to the bride price, he accepted the money (and kept it in holding for his daughter in case of a divorce), the groom poured a glass of wine for...
There's a great story I would like to share with you from Mrs. Lettie Cowman's wonderful book, Springs in the Valley. In the deep jungles of Africa, a traveler was making a long trek. Coolies had been engaged from a tribe to carry the loads. The first day they marched rapidly and went far. The...
There was snow, and more snow, and even more snow. I've seen more snow than I want to see in the last couple of days...and ice too. I really hate the ice. Especially since I have to drive in it. I find it quite scary. :eek:
Friday and Saturdays are my days off. This last Friday I went to...
It's 1:30 AM. I got off of work at 11 PM. It had started snowing several hours earlier and the roads were getting slick and visibility was low. I don't mind driving in the snow so much it's just when it turns to ice and of course the fact that most of my driving at this time of year is in the...
I'm really going to try this coming year to post more on my blog. God is doing a lot of stuff in my life but I just don't post so much about it anymore. Not sure why...I guess I'm just caught up in other things.
Anyway, 2013 has been an incredible year for me. It's been one of the best years...
In 2 Peter 3:14-17, Peter warns us that Apostle Paul's writings are very difficult to understand. He says those who lack knowledge of the scriptures will misinterpret them to their own destruction...being led away with the error of 'lawless' men.
What Paul taught:
Believed everything in the...
I saw this comment this afternoon on my Facebook. It's something to think about.
Revelation 22:14 (New KJ) " Blessed are they that do His commandments, that they may have right to the Tree of Life, and may enter in through the gates into the city."
So, why does the church insist that we...
Paul Kept the Sabbath!
Acts 13:14 From Perga they went on to Pisidian Antioch. On the Sabbath they entered the synagogue and sat down.
Acts 13:44 On the next Sabbath almost the whole city gathered to hear the word of the Lord.
Acts 16:13 On the Sabbath we went outside the city gate...
In my opinion those have got to be one of the eeriest sounds. Yesterday I was working and in the process of driving out of town when I heard the sirens go off. I continued on driving but was watching the sky for any sight of a tornado. Don't know where I would have gone if I'd seen one...
Paul’s Concern for the Galatians
Galations 4:8 Formerly, when you did not know God, you were slaves to those who by nature are not gods. 9 But now that you know God—or rather are known by God—how is it that you are turning back to those weak and miserable forces? Do you wish to be enslaved by...
I'm surprised at how many people really have an issue with this word "obedience" when it comes to application to doing what God says and it's application to their faith. The word is mentioned and all of a sudden some are screaming "law", "rules", etc.. :scratch: Really? Why is this word such...
Like the perpetual fire spoken about in the previous post it appears that there are things that God does in us to cause the changing of our hearts. Like the perpetual fire that God started on the altar HE started the fire in us. God started it and the priesthood is expected to keep it burning...
It is written in Leviticus 6:12-13, “The fire on the altar must be kept burning; it must not go out. Every morning the priest is to add firewood and arrange the burnt offering on the fire and burn the fat of the fellowship offerings on it. The fire must be kept burning on the altar...
A pastor and his wife came to the front of the church to receive ministry from a man of God. The prophet spoke first to the husband, revealing his past and gave insights into his future. He then turned to the pastor's wife. As he spoke of her past, suddenly he paused, listening. Finally he...
